The Isle of Raasay has a population of approximately two hundred people and the Hotel is the only establishment of its kind on the Island. Raasay is accessed from Sconser on Skye by way of a fifteen-minute ferry crossing which is very busy in the summer months. At present the slipway for the Ferry is approximately two miles from the Hotel. A new slipway is being built in the bay directly below the Hotel and is expected to significantly increase the number of visitors.

The Island is extremely popular with Walkers, Ornithologists and Geologists, and there is an outdoor centre used by Private Schools, Colleges and other Institutions. From the Hotel there are beautiful views across the sound of Raasay to Skye and the Cuillins.

During their tenure the present Owners have spent liberally upgrading the Hotel to three stars and most rooms have been completely refurbished. This has resulted in a good increase in turnover and it is with genuine regret that the Hotel has now been placed on the Market. In capable new owners hands this Hotel will only improve and prosper and we highly recommend viewing.

There is currently a large amount of investment going into the island in the shape of a new Community Centre, a Heritage Centre, new Housing, with the new Ferry Terminal, below the Hotel, due to start in August.

Raasay House and Gardens has recently been purchased by the islanders and is to have a £3.5 million upgrade during the next two years. This is an exciting time for the island and the hotel is expected to benefit significantly from a large increase in publicity and visitor numbers. During the past year the Hotel has gained 3 stars Visit Scotland and now houses the Tourist Information Centre which is bringing more people through the Hotel’s door.
